ABOUT US

Bruce Anderson began his work with horses on the family cocoa and coffee estate on the West Indian islands of Trinidad and Tobago. He learned to ride on the estate and then represented his country on the National Show Jumping Team. From there he moved on to breeding farms at home, in the U.K. and in the U.S. While in England, he earned an agricultural degree and worked with racehorses in Florida. He eventually moved into the hunter/jumper show circuit.
 

Around the time his mother died, things both fell apart and came together. Bruce realized that the horses were helping him get back in touch with his nature, just as he was helping them learn to live in the world we have created. Over the next few years, his dark moments set the conditions for Bruce to open his heart, allowing the horses to teach him the four missing pieces we have lost in the modern world. 
 

As he grasped the usefulness of these missing pieces, it changed his relationship with pressure. Bruce came to realize that it’s IN working with horses that we build our inner tools and become who we were born to be. He calls this The You. Out of his journey, he developed his unique approach to Equine Assisted Learning. Rather than focusing on the end state of achieving a goal with the horse, Bruce’s Natural Humanshipô method helps humans break out of their habitual patterns of thinking and acting. Mistakes are no longer a problem, but the pathway to a deeper relationship with both themselves and the horses. It’s not a straight path; society’s conditioning is so ingrained that shifting to a natural mindset feels uncomfortable. However, the struggle is worth the effort. In the end, both horses and humans are transformed with a new level of inner strength and flexibility.
